Paris Bike Programme Pedals Toward Big Success

This year’s Tour de France bike race may have been ruined by doping

Scandals, but a new city bicycle programme has made two-wheeled

Transport very popular in Paris for residents and tourists.

The ≪Velib≫ — which means ≪free bike≫ — programme launched in

Paris in July has been a runaway success for Mayor Bertrand Delanoe, enabling

Thousands of Parisians and visitors to pedal to work, shops and sights.

Similar systems exist in other European countries, as city administrations

Struggle to ease both traffic gridlock and air pollution, but the

French capital has the most ambitious programme.

Some 616,000 users have signed up to be able to pick up and drop

Off bikes at more than 750 points in Paris for a daily subscription of

Euro. About 10,000 bikes are already in place and the programme will

Double in size by the end of the year with around 20,000 of the sturdy

Gray-green bikes available.

The first half hour is free, which, organizers believe, will cover most

Users, though longer journeys are possible on a mounting scale of charges.
